Science and Christmas

At the Gillespie Christmas Fayre, pupils created some beautiful pictures of the Northern Lights and took home information about auroras. Thank you to the Institute of Physics who suggested the activity and provided Do Try This at Home Winter Activity Packs and Superheroes Unlimited Activity Packs for families to take home.
